I didn't have much a problem.  Just a few rpms (4) that have not been
updated to the latest openssl and maybe one rpm dependent on the old
xorg-x11.  For the openssl I downloaded the spec file for openssl097f
(found in bugzilla) and compiled/installed it.  This allowed be to
continue updating (but I still monitor for updates to these rpms so I can
get rid of openssl097f.  Remaining is grip, hdf5, libesmtp, and
scribus).  I just deleted the xorg-x11 blocking rpms and reinstalled some
of them last night when their updates appeared (openmotif, xpdf).

Perhaps you can show us what repositories you're using?

Also list all of your conflicts.  Maybe some can suggest what you need to
do.  As your message stands, it doesn't provide much info other than "it
don't work"(tm).
